Political campaigning is flat out the worst job ever. Seven days a week, 12-13 hour days, physically arduous work since you walk about 15 miles a day, and it may all be for absolutely nothing if the guy loses. I don't see how anyone would choose that over retail if they had the option.

For entry level jobs, fast food is generally worse than retail in my experience. The only time retail is worse imo is during the holiday season/Black Friday.
Some fast food joints I worked at in my younger years were constantly busy and hellish since they were highway exit restaurants...never again. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The thing about retail is that you really have to be a people person, and a lot of people who work retail arent so the work is really draining on them since they basically have to put up a fake persona. this.

It was a fixed two week wage since you worked a fixed amount of hours every two weeks. I just say all of this to dissuade anyone from working on a political campaign lol.

Here's hoping I get a bank job where I'm a Risk Asset Valuation Specialist. It's basically just getting data on properties and valuating a price on them. But I have to go to the site sometimes and check out the building and do a few interview questions I think. Yeah I could work on my people skills, but I think it's a skill that I can train over time.
Hope the pay is way higher than my current job at $14/hr, that and living in an expensive city, I hope that job is kept up with the cost of living index. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's compensated volunteering, you weren't employed by them, just given cash to help you campaign for your political group. That isn't so, though. I was literally employed by the Republican Party to be a field organizer for a whole region of Virginia during the state's gubernatorial race. Anyways, all of this is beside the point and completely irrelevant. Point is: Don't work as a political field organizer / campaign staffer.

Oh definitely. I see it everyday. To be at telemarketing or even as a sales assistant is a Godsend for most people here. If you're male and without skills, you're put to hard labour. And the living and employment conditions are just horrendous. Anybody who says that has never worked in a call center. Between high school and college, I worked a *lot* of low-end jobs and nothing was quite as unpleasant as being in a call center. Suddenly doing landscaping over the summer -- ie, manual labor in hot weather -- didn't seem as bad. Kyuubi4269 posted... Solid Snake07 posted...construction This so hard, tbh. I know union guys who bragged about being paid to stand around on some jobs. BTB posted... I'd rather be Oprah Winfrey's personal scratcher than work retail. tbh, I'm sure it pays a fuckload better. Plus if you do a great job, you might be rewarded with your own show. I hear that's how Dr. Phil got his start. Firewood18 posted... This topic makes me think of Koga. Where's he been? Been wondering about that a lot myself, given how many topics bring his moping to mind. Hopefully the no-news is good news.
